John Cornyn Will Be a Texas Thom Tillis and That’s Awful |
It’s no secret that John Cornyn is in grave danger of having the good people of Texas dislodge him from the senatorial sinecure he’s occupied without distinction for four endless terms. He seeks a fifth term for no apparent reason other than he loves having lackeys address him as “Your Senatorness.” And that’s all he does – his opponent, Kenny Paxton, lays waste while John Cornyn lays around.

He does something like that every six years – he comes back to Texas, pops a brand-new Stetson on his noggin, stands near a horse for the cameras, and........
